{"product_id":"euphrates-expedition","title":"Euphrates Expedition","description":"First published in 1992. This book invites the reader to cast the mind a hundred and fifty years back to a short span of time between 1829 and 1842. This was an exciting period when Britain?€?s might, demonstrated to the world at Trafalgar and Waterloo, was fortified by leadership in steam technology and was given a new direction by the liberal philosophy that British statesmen, thinkers and poets proclaimed at home and abroad. The Euphrates expedition was an attempt by well-intentioned British governments to achieve a geopolitical end by a technological means. The objective was to halt Russian expansion in the Near East, where some observers saw a threat to Britain?€?s control of India.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234852557144,"sku":"9781138862098","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138862098.jpg?v=1770157835","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/euphrates-expedition","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
